Lens options by condition
If you already know the diagnosis, this is the faster way in. Each page works through the lens options for one condition in the order practitioners usually consider them, and explains what decides between them.
Keratoconus
Every lens option fitted for keratoconus, in the order fitters usually work through them.

Regular or irregular? The answer decides whether a toric soft lens is enough or whether you need a rigid design.

Several conditions are handled on the lens page rather than getting one of their own, because the answer is a single lens type rather than a choice between several:
- Severe dry eye and ocular surface disease — see scleral lenses, where the fluid reservoir is the mechanism that helps.
- Aniridia, iris coloboma and traumatic iris damage — see prosthetic lenses.
- Corneal abrasion, recurrent erosion and healing after surgery — see bandage lenses.
- After a corneal transplant or refractive surgery — covered within keratoconus lens options and astigmatism, since the lens choice follows the same logic.
